Thanks, all They do seem to be exchanging some unspoken wisdom.
This was my 2nd-last butterfly. I have one straggler left who bizarrely was the only tiny larva left in the neighbour's garden -- usually they lay more eggs all at once. S/he is still in the chrysalis. They grow much more slowly when the temperature drops. We've had one light frost so far that may have screwed up my squash vines at 2C. UGH, I hate the thought of the cold coming!!
